Yeah, I drove on those West Virginia interstates in the late 80's. At the time I thought it was because I was driving down to visit my Mom in Augusta, GA, but now I realize I was scouting driving trip terrain for a hypothetical MAC add of Appy State.

Scouting for a Southeast Passage to Harrisonburg?

JMU got their wish according to this tweet
I would personally prefer to be in a conference with an established footprint and stop these notions of going east. And adding more FCS schools just anchors the conference as an also ran with respect to other conferences. Let SBC do the dirty work of developing these teams stepping up and we can pluck from the northern edge of their group when they tire of the long trips all over the south

Nah, that route isn't any less hilly than a more direct route, but if you were heading to Boone NC, you'd just take the 81 south at Wytheville, VA, rather than staying on I-77, and get off I-81 just a bit north of Boone.
I reckon someone in Athens heading to Harrisonburg who was too much of a wimp to drive on West Virginia Interstates would not be going on a Southeast Passage but rather a Northeast Passage, heading to Hagerstown in the western panhandle of Maryland and then down I-81. From this part of Ohio its not an issue, since that's the more direct route anyway.
